Hi there
I've been a member of Abandonia for a while now and downloaded quite a share of the old games (some for purely nostalgic purposes, others because I never had a chance to play them before). So, I decided to pop in here and say hi.
I'm mainly a fan of strategy and RPG games, yet through my years of gaming I was exposed to (and enjoyed) many different genres as well. I was thrilled to see some of the games I used to love on this site  (although disapointed that some of them are protected/sold, but that cannot be helped).Now that I mentioned that, with 'sold' games, where can you actually buy them? I'm pretty certain you cannot find them in the local game shops  Anyway, so much for my introduction. I'll see to make a post/topic or two once in a while  |

hey welcome
about the protected games well, you probably can't. you can search for them on websites like cdacess or second hand copies on amazon. but many times you can't buy it. you may now wonder why won't we put them on website once they cannot be bought from anywhere, but thing is that this retarded "ESA" company is being a **** and shuts down any website that hosts games that are under some kind of "special protection" (companies become member of esa in hope to protect their new games and esa got it all wrong). even though they are unaccessible, nor there is no support for the games. why is the company so zealous about protecting games that are not being sold anywhere or doesn't provide any support, this is a very intriguing question which makes you think only of one word in connection to ESA. and that's bureaucrat fcuktards

Obviously, it's not working as it's supposed to.  In the meantime we're trying to keep track of which games are actually sold and which are merely protected through this list. Apologies for the inconvenience.
